Donghoon Lee, CEO of NH Hedge Asset Management

Since 2010, CEO Lee Dong-hoon has been leading the proprietary trading team at NH Investment & Securities (formerly Woori Investment & Securities). He was the key figure in launching the first in-house hedge fund in the domestic securities industry in 2016. Later, in 2019, he became the inaugural CEO of NH Hedge Asset Management following its spin-off, and based on nearly 15 years of stable performance, he earned his third appointment. NH Hedge Asset Management operates the largest multi-strategy hedge fund in Korea by single fund size, the 'NH Absolute Return General Private Investment Trust No. 1,' and has diversified its product lineup with mezzanine, pre-IPO, KOSDAQ venture, and project funds. As of March, it has established itself as a leading Korean hedge fund manager with assets under management (AUM) of 1.2 trillion KRW.

Currently, NH Hedge Asset Management is making every effort to attract overseas capital. To this end, by the end of 2023, it completed the establishment of a Variable Capital Company (VCC) in Singapore and local staff recruitment, and has begun full-scale marketing in cooperation with NH Investment & Securities’ local subsidiary. CEO Lee has presented the company’s vision of becoming a Korean global hedge fund that, in the long term, replaces overseas hedge funds invested in by domestic pension funds, if the company takes a step forward through overseas capital funding.
